Many women report physical and mental consequences of leaking or ruptured PIP implants. The time has come to STOP the discrimination! This is NOT a debate about cosmetic surgery!

Notified Body TUV
A French tribunal ruled on the civil case brought by victims of the PIP implant fraud in Toulon on Thursday 14 November 2013. The court found TUV, (the German notified body) who repeatedly awarded a CE safety certificate to PIP, failed in its obligations of inspection and vigilance and was ordered to pay damages to the victims. TUV is Appealing the decision.

“New report supports Keogh expert group findings on breast implants”

The European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) today (29 October 2013) published their report on the safety of PIP breast implants. Their findings support the findings of the report of Professor Sir Bruce Keogh’s Expert Group on PIP breast implants which was published on 18 June 2012.

The SCENIHR report highlights that:

there is currently no convincing medical, toxicological or other data to justify removal of intact PIP implants as a precautionary approach.

The failure of national health & regulatory authorities to act to protect women & children affected by ordering the urgent preventative removal of all non•compliant PIP implants inevitably means more legal cases being brought by victims.
